Plus, MovieWeb also posted a new interview with Abrams and here are few excerpts.
Another thing every fan is dying to know is if Khan or any other characters from the original series would be incorporated into the new re-imagined franchise? "We're not even at that stage yet. But the fun of where we are on the sequel is we could use some of what was done before in a new way. But we haven't even figured out what we would use yet so it's very early on," said Abrams.
"I think that the challenge, the advantage and the opportunity of this world is just how unlimited it is in terms of what we can do," continued Abrams. "Having said that, I think the first movie was very much just about the characters meeting, so you can only go so far in terms of the depth of experience and it's all pretty urgent. Now that they've gotten to be together for a period of time, whether it be a day, weeks, months, or years, that next chapter feels sort of like there are some roots that have grown. So it won't be meeting new people as you go it will be going on this adventure with this pre-established family. So that just means a different set of challenges. So I'm very excited to play that out," he concluded
One aspect of the film that surprised new and old fans alike was the love triangle between Kirk, Spock and Uhura, something that had never been explored before in any of the previous films or TV series. "I think it was that Kirk was so clearly the romantic lead and the fun of it was to play with the expectations of where it was going to go," said Abrams. "I think now that we've done that you can't play that same joke again so it's got to be about what is their relationship and who are these people? That's why I think the next one, hopefully while still having the sense of fun and adventure, can go a little deeper in terms of the story," he added regarding the love triangle appearing in future films.
